It has long been recognized in Lodges that a Mentor can provide invaluable support, advice, and information to candidates. Grand Lodge is investigating formally raising the profile of the role; in the meantime, increasing numbers of Lodges are setting up mentoring programs, some as formal appointments and others as informal schemes. There is a need for an accessible book outlining best practices for a Mentor and giving advice on how best to fulfill this role. In this book, Richard Johnson introduces the role and why it has become increasingly necessary to appoint Mentors. The main part of the book deals with how the Mentor can assist the candidate for initiation and the member after initiation, passing, and raising. The Mentor is involved in all aspects of running the Lodge and can guide Members through their career in the Lodge. There is also a useful bibliography of various booklets that are available on many of the individual aspects of the role.
